Abstract
WHEN in the early months of the present year the one hundredth volume* of the Victoria History of the Counties of England issued from the press, it marked a memorable achievement, in which all who have been associated with the work may feel a legitimate pride. Inevitably this feeling is mingled with regret that so many among the promoters and the collaborators of earlier days cannot now enjoy the credit that is their due—not least among them the one man, the late Dr. William Page, to whose courage, tenacity of purpose, and organizing ability we owe it that this great undertaking is still in existence to pursue its way towards completion.
